Christine Salangad-Pardiñas, Vice President – Supply Chain Rustan Supercenters, Inc. Christine introduces the operations of a retailer, and its supply chain stages and processes such as as ROP and EOQ (which are both automated), demand forecasts, import processing and logistics. She takes the audience through the retail merchandise flow from trade partners, to the distribution center, to the stores, and to the customers. Christine examines the main challenge of multi-format retailer chains in bringing the right products to the right store at the right time and at the right price, breaking it down to the KPIs of the supply chain team. With the challenges vendors face such as traffic, rising costs, and connectivity, Christine presents actual vendor fill rates demonstrating that much has yet to be done. She closes with a peek into the strategies and technologies that are bringing her organization to the next level.
Christine is the Vice President for Supply Chain in Rustan Supercenters, Inc. overseeing the supermarket chain’s foreign inbound logistics, fresh and dry distribution centers, replenishment of stores and warehouse stocks. A graduate of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of the Philippines, her more than twenty-year career includes management positions in various service and manufacturing organizations. Christine is currently the President-Elect of the Supply Chain Management Association of the Philippines (SCMAP) to assume position from 2019-2020. She is the first representative from the retail industry to assume the top role in the organization.

About the 2018 IEmagineering Conference
How Do We Feed One Hundred Million?
IEmagineering Systems for Food Security
April 21, 2018 (Saturday) | National Institute of Physics, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
This symposium hopes to start a conversation on challenges, limitations, threats and solutions to a critical issue that our nation faces: food insecurity. Both the government and the private sector have developed technologies and solutions to the many components affecting this issue: sourcing and funding, logistics, storage, production, retail and distribution. However, we believe that an integrated approach is required to initiate sustained programs that will ensure continued access to nutritious and affordable food for 100,000,000 Filipinos.
We propose that the application of IE principles and systems thinking is key to viewing national food security holistically–to better grasp its dimensions, and then to be able to design, plan and propose multi-sectoral strategies, as solid steps towards nation-building. We hope to spark the participant’s imagination by presenting innovative and pioneering solutions and open their young minds to the idea that there are many career and business opportunities for Industrial Engineers in this area.
